After the hard winter weekend, on Tuesday it was wonderful to take a milder weather walk around the farm with Aidan in search of spring survivors. Wendy's crocus and jonquils were uninjured but a not open yet. Aidan began the walk just ahead of me...






There were signs of life...

Raspberry leafing out.

Onions.

And the pond was alive with frog activity though the croaking wasn't taking place. Maybe they knew another storm was coming by the end of the week.

The chickens are laying plenty of eggs and, alas, I forgot to bring home the dozen John offered.

Fancy and Toby were sharing on the back porch. Made me sleepy looking at them from the window...

It's been great having Keoni home all week. We all had dinner at the farm Tuesday night and Wendy treated us with a very, very nice St. Patrick's Day menu with the corned beef and cabbage. Oh, so good. A little music with the boys and Keoni drove me home.

Wednesday and Thursday were a blur of kleenex and congestion malaise. Very ugh.

Funny how I knew in the wee hours of this morning that there was snow outside. It was the glow on the curtains. A mild temp, heavy snow when I got up. Plunging temps tonight and for the weekend. How did the frogs know this?

Marge's back yard with neighbor's barn in back.

The soft, white silence attracted Keoni to a farm walk he said. He captured Frezz who doesn't mind the cold one bit...






Today, was the best health since catching this darn cold. Keoni and I lunched on chili and cornbread before heading off to the movies where we saw Hidden Figures which I liked very much. Wonderful seeing some barriers come down after really amazing hard work. I wasn't very much older than Keoni when all that was taking place. We who lived those times all remember the space race moments. How little I knew about hidden figures.
